<p>why is it such a common thing to think all atheists are angry at god? we are not angry with god..we are typically angry with the way society conforms to a belief, and if we dont conform with it, we are looked down upon.</p>

<p>that is the main reason I ever feel intolerant of the religious.</p>

I never make life changing decisions for emotional reasons. If I am emotional about something, I step back, cool down, and logically assess the situation. But as I said above, my atheism is a result of logic and reasoning, not emotions. Besides, how can someone be an atheist and be mad at a god when by definition atheists don't have a belief in a god or gods? (PS - You mentioned that guy that "I" talked about... remember that I didn't author those posts, just shared them.)<br />

<p>I meant it in a sense of doing it out of anger towards god the world and everything else, nothing good comes out of anger. Just like that guy you talk about in the second part of this post who was atheist out of anger and then converted to being christian.</p>
<p>People are quick to project their feelings onto other, because I'm not secure in my humanism, sometimes I think in a nihilistic manner and this bothers me.</p>

How can embracing reality and ridding yourself of dangerous and harmful beliefs ever be for a bad reason? I am an atheist today because I could never go back to believing in the magic man in the sky after learning the facts about religion and the universe.

Change came about as a result of some college courses, constant challenges to my faith and claims by non-believers, and finally by way of a challenge to view the evidence with an open mind and reassess what I believe. I was challenged to investigate the major religions (both beliefs and history), philosophy, science, and to read the responses to the same tired arguments I used (like Pascals wager, the watchmaker argument, etc.) And the more I learned, the more I questioned my beliefs.

Change came about as a result of some college courses, constant challenges to my faith and claims by non-believers, and finally by way of a challenge to view the evidence with an open mind and reassess what I believe. I was challenged to investigate the major religions (both beliefs and history), philosophy, science, and to read the responses to the same tired arguments I used (like Pascals wager, the watchmaker argument, etc.) And the more I learned, the more I questioned my beliefs. The final nails into the coffin of my faith came when I was holding onto the last bits of belief and was asked to read "The God Delusion " and "Letter to a Christian Nation." After reading those I walked away from all belief in God and embraced rationalism. I don't think I could ever go back, especially knowing all I do now.

I just hope you're not doing it for all the wrong reason, because it's sounds incredible to change so much, at least it sounds to me who always was an atheist so I look at it differently.

<p>"It’s beyond obvious that atheism is a lie that was created by rebels who felt they were superior to God."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That's an interesting, uh, premise. I think most religious people couldn't agree with this, let alone think it's "beyond obvious".</p>
